Have you seen that movie, "Closer"?

This is what I was thinking about last night...

Song titles:
-Love don't cost a thing
-I will always love you
-Love stinks
-Tainted love
-Love me tender
-This love
-Making love out of nothing at all
-All out of love
-Baby I love your way
-Can you feel the love tonight?
-Keep on loving you
-Endless love
-Greatest love of all
-What's love got to do with it?
-I will always love you
-When I fall in love
-I can't make you love me
-You give love a bad name
-You've lost that loving feeling

Believe it or not these were off the top of my head.

I could certainly go on... but I won't.

One of my friends and I watched "Closer" last night - first time for her, second for me... and I thought that by seeing it a second time I would somehow "get it". That suddenly everything I didn't get about the movie would suddenly make sense. But it still hasn't.

I do not want to imply I did not enjoy this movie, because in a very weird way I liked it a lot. I mostly liked that it doesn't glamourize love or glamourize people who are in love (or who THINK they are in love). This movie shows the many flaws that people can have. Which of course means that as the audience, we have license to judge each character, thereby assuming each character is screwed up in one way or another.

Ah, cinema, the one place I can go to make my own flaws seem so much less severe.
